 In Sandbox, you can log in to any supported institution using `user_good` as the username and `pass_good` as the password. If prompted to enter a 2-factor authentication code, enter `1234`. In Production, use real-life credentials.
 
 ### Transactions test credentials
-For Transactions, you will get the most realistic results using `user_transactions_dynamic` as the username, and any non-blank string as the password. For more details on the special capabilities of this test user, see the [docs](https://plaid.com/docs/transactions/transactions-data/#testing-pending-and-posted-transactions).

 For credit and underwriting products like Assets and Statements, you will get the most realistic results using one of the [credit and underwriting tests credentials](https://plaid.com/docs/sandbox/test-credentials/#credit-and-income-testing-credentials), like `user_bank_income` / `{}`.

 If you get the console error "oauth uri does not contain a valid oauth_state_id query parameter", you are attempting to initialize Link with a redirect uri when it is not necessary to do so. The `receivedRedirectUri` should not be set when initializing Link for the first time. It is used when initializing Link for the second time, after returning from the OAuth redirect.

-To test the OAuth flow in Sandbox, select any institution that uses an OAuth connection with Plaid (a partial list can be found on the [Dashboard OAuth Institutions page](https://dashboard.plaid.com/team/oauth-institutions)), or choose 'Platypus OAuth Bank' from the list of financial institutions in Plaid Link.

 ### Testing OAuth with a redirect URI (optional)
 
 To test the OAuth flow in Sandbox with a [redirect URI](https://www.plaid.com/docs/link/oauth/#create-and-register-a-redirect-uri), you should set `PLAID_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:3000/` in `.env`. You will also need to register this localhost redirect URI in the

+[Plaid dashboard under Developers > API > Allowed redirect URIs][dashboard-api-section]. It is not required to configure a redirect URI in the .env file to use OAuth with the Quickstart, since redirect URIs are only needed for mobile clients (recommended for best conversion on mobile web, and required when using a Plaid mobile SDK). 
 
 #### Instructions for using https with localhost
 
-If you want to test OAuth in development with a redirect URI, you need to use https and set `PLAID_REDIRECT_URI=https://localhost:3000/` in `.env`. In order to run your localhost on https, you will need to create a self-signed certificate and add it to the frontend root folder. You can use the following instructions to do this. Note that self-signed certificates should be used for testing purposes only, never for actual deployments.
